While doing the dishes, I check today's fortune to see if I should post what I wrote.
This is a story for anyone who stops doing the dishes each night to check the day's fortune first.
Scenes
- While doing dishes, I check my fortune before posting what I wrote today. — Standing at the sink, I wipe my wet hands on my phone and check first whether today is a good day to post the unfinished piece.
- I needed permission before I needed to post. — Maybe I wasn't waiting to find out whether I truly wanted to post it, but for a sign that it was okay to post it today.
- My hand stopped above the post button. — Even after finishing the piece, I opened my fortune and tapped Save instead of Post. For a moment, only the sound of running water continued.
- Your fortune isn't a chart that makes decisions for you. — Rather than judging which day you should post, your fortune can be a way to see what you're rushing into and what you need to look at today.
- Read only the first sentence before checking your fortune. — Today, before opening your fortune, read just the first sentence aloud. You may hear first whether you want to share it or keep it hidden.
- The piece won't disappear just because you don't post it today. — If you want to see it again tomorrow, just save it. Even after waiting for a good day, I'm still the one who chose those words.
